Categories

Cleanliness
5
Many guests reported clean rooms and fresh-smelling renovations, but there are notable negative incidents (blood stains, cockroaches reported, rooms not serviced, bathroom grime) that lower overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
7
Multiple mentions of friendly, helpful staff and strong service, though a few reports of unresponsive or absent front desk staff and reservation handling problems create a mixed but overall positive service impression.
Location
7
Several guests praised a safe, quiet location and proximity to local points (county fair); a few found it awkward to access, but location sentiment is generally positive.
Room Quality
5.5
Rooms are described as clean, spacious, and comfortable by many, with good pillows for some, but issues with hard beds, outdated bathrooms, AC problems, and occasional maintenance concerns reduce the score.
Amenities
4.5
Amenities are weak in guest reports: breakfast frequently criticized, pool padlocked/unused, missing in-room coffee makers and other expected conveniences noted as deficiencies.
Value for Money
8
Multiple guests explicitly called this a good value or excellent price for what they needed, making value perception one of the stronger positives.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast is repeatedly described as 'just ok' or 'awful' and is a common complaint, so food and beverage sentiment is notably low.
Overall Experience
7
Overall impressions are mixed but lean positive: many guests enjoyed a comfortable, clean stay with helpful staff and good value, while a subset experienced serious issues (cockroaches, reservation failures, no water) that impacted their stay.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Cons:

The staff was absent tomorrow the front desk. The all inclusive breakfast was awful. The people we were traveling with also had problems with the toilet working and they received no response from anyone at the front desk!

Pros:

It was easily accessible and not in high traffic noisy area. It is a work in progress, but can clearly see the effort being put into continuing to make it a super place to stay!
